His confidence was as irritating as it was unnerving. "What do you want, Lucian?"
"What I have always wanted." His low tones were laced with amusement and slid across my skin like silk. "I want to fuck you senseless."
I shivered—a reaction that was a weird mix of loathing and desire. "And suck me dry information-wise."
"Well, yes, that is a luscious side benefit." He grinned. "You cannot deny that our time together was mutually satisfactory."
I snorted. Side benefit, my ass. If anything had been a side benefit, then it was the sex. And yeah, it had been great, but the truth of the matter was, I was just another cog in the many wheels he had spinning.
"And you were so damn sure of your prowess in bed that you had to place a spell on me to ensure I came back."
Something flickered in his eyes. Something that was dark and ultimately dangerous. It was a quick reminder that for all the time I'd spent fucking this man, I didn't really know him.
"Let's not kid ourselves, Risa." His voice was as soft as his expression was dark. "It was not just the spell that kept you coming back, but your own insatiable desire. And we both know if I were to touch you now, you would beg me for more."
"If you tried touching me, the only thing you'd feel is Amaya's steel." I paused, then added somewhat cattily, "Oh, that's right, you've already had a close encounter of the ugly kind with her."
He laughed. It was a short and sharp sound, but held little of the anger and frustration I could sense within him. "Yes. I wasn't aware that demon swords were capable of thought or action when the bearer was out of it. To discover the sharp end of a sword literally sticking out of your cunt was something of a surprise."
Thank you, thank you, thank you, I said silently to my sword.
Kill him to thank.
I have to admit, it was a very tempting thought. But until I knew whether he was at all involved with Ilianna's disappearance, my hands were still as tied as my feet.
"So you kidnapped me just to fuck me?"
"Oh, I didn't intend to just fuck you, my dear." Amusement played about his mouth, but there was something decidedly dark in the green depths.
